CBM-Command è un disk manager per Commodore 64 / 128 / VIC20 / PET e Commodore C16. L’interfaccia ricorda il vecchio Norton Commander / Midnight Commander. L’interfaccia grafica del CBM-Command per ovvi motivi risulta più semplice ma perfettamente integrata nel sistema operativo. La versione per Commodore 128 puo’ girare anche a 80 colonne.

Release Notes – Version 2.3 Final

This is the final release for CBM-Command Version 2.3. What happened to version 2.2? Well, cc65 went through several breaking changes and I wanted to make a clear delineation that this version of CBM-Command isn’t a simple fix and recompile of the last version 2.2.

New Features:

• Provides Side-By-Side panels or Top-And-Bottom panels on 40-column systems.
• Batch disk image creation.
• User can select drive or partition number.
• The disks have a little BASIC-language program that can update your configuration files.

Known Issues:

• It can trigger the write-and-replace bug.
• It can’t create or write back D80 and D82 images.
• The REL-file copier doesn’t truncate old target files that have the same record size as the new file.
• It will try to copy DEL files if they are selected.
• Errors don’t stop batch operations; the file is skipped.

Il PETdisk è un nuovo dispositivo di archiviazione per il CBM Commodore PET.

Il progetto è diviso in due parti:

• Un modulo per il datassette che rende possibile caricare i dati da una scheda audio PC al CBM / PET.
• Un modulo con il connettore IEEE-488 per caricare i dati da una scheda SD simulando il Disk Drive.

Se la tastiera del vostro Commodore PET non funziona troppo bene.

Ecco la soluzione: un adattatore PS/2 che consente di collegare una normale tastiera per Personal Computer (con connettore PS/2) al PET / CBM.
